In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. A roughly oval area (c. 150m WNW-ENE; c. 85m SSW-NNE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall, sections of which are grassed over. The line of the S boundary of the enclosure is irregular. A turf stand abuts the NE extremity of the enclosure, two adjoining hut sites (KE093-083001-, KE093-083006-) are within the enclosure, a cairn (KE093-083002-) is c. 40m to the N, a fulacht fia (KE093-052001-) and a relict field system (KE093-052003-) to the S. There is a hut site (KE093-052002-) c. 25m to the S.
